On March 23, thousands of participants will make their way through Grant Park before finishing the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle.
The race kicks off officially at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, but road closures in the area will begin much sooner.
Rolling street closures within Grant Park begin March 17, and continue through March 24. Additionally, Grant Park will be closed to all vehicle traffic from 6 a.m. on March 22 until approximately 3 p.m. on March 23.
Event organizers say they are working with the Chicago Police Department to ensure the closures follow a “rolling pattern,” so when the last participant passes, the street may reopen.
Here's the full list of closures:
Monday, March 17 at 6 a.m. (anticipated opening, Wednesday, March 26 at 3 p.m.)
· Balbo Dr. from Columbus Dr. to DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
Saturday, March 22 at 6 a.m. (anticipated opening, Sunday, March 23)
